She is a talentless retard who wouldn't be anywhere if she wasn't associated with Barry Manilow.

She was funny back in the day. She did a video with the Stones that was pretty amusing in the 80s, she starred in Ruthless People, which is a hilarious movie, and she had a pretty funny stand up act. All of it was in the 80s, though.

I was forced by an ex-girlfriend to watch Beaches. It scarred me so much to a point that I wanted to shoot myself afterwards. To this day I am afraid to watch any chick flick.

Just don't watch the endings. Someone always dies, and not in a cool explosion or action sequence, but of a wasting disease.

Steel Magnolias, for example, had some great scenes. Tom Skerrit uses fireworks to rid a tree of birds, Shirley McClaine is rude and mean to everyone, and Dolly Parton is Dolly Parton. If the whole Julia Roberts/Sally Field thing was left out, it would have been a great comedy.

The theme song, that Midler stole, is going through my head now. I like Gary Morris's version, the original, better.

Her "reasoning" is simply regurgitation of talking points. Her understanding of economics, politics or infrastructure is what you'd expect of a person whose claim to fame is being the new Ethel Merman.

Aside from their use as interrogation tools, most Bette Midler movies should be treated as WMDs and exposure limited to those who have truly earned a fate worse than death. The one exception, Ruthless People, works because Midler plays a self-abosrbed, obnoxious, vicious woman who is too evil to be married to Danny DeVito's character, which makes the kidnapping funnier. If her character was someone that you cared about, the movie wouldn't work, so casting her was perfect.
